The only thing worse than orange fakey-oak cabinets might just be pickled fakey-oak cabinets. Pinkish, shiny, and when paired with a white formica, as with Mary’s before kitchen here, a big bowl of uninspiring blahness.
So change was in order, starting with a fresh coat of Dried-Thyme on the cabinets and updating just about everything else. My very, very favorite part is the tile backsplash, it literally made me sigh out loud. See it up close on her blog Humble 1021.
